/**
* An interface for graph-structured data,
* whose edges have associated non-unique values.
*
* A graph is composed of a set of nodes and a set of edges connecting pairs of nodes.
*
*
There are three primary interfaces provided to represent graphs. In order of increasing
* complexity they are: {@link Graph}, {@link ValueGraph}, and {@link Network}. You should generally
* prefer the simplest interface that satisfies your use case. See the
* "Choosing the right graph type" section of the Guava User Guide for more details.
*
*
Capabilities
*
* {@code ValueGraph} supports the following use cases (definitions of
* terms):
*
*
* - directed graphs
*
- undirected graphs
*
- graphs that do/don't allow self-loops
*
- graphs whose nodes/edges are insertion-ordered, sorted, or unordered
*
- graphs whose edges have associated values
*
*
* {@code ValueGraph}, as a subtype of {@code Graph}, explicitly does not support parallel edges,
* and forbids implementations or extensions with parallel edges. If you need parallel edges, use
* {@link Network}. (You can use a positive {@code Integer} edge value as a loose representation of
* edge multiplicity, but the {@code *degree()} and mutation methods will not reflect your
* interpretation of the edge value as its multiplicity.)
*
*
Building a {@code ValueGraph}
*
* The implementation classes that {@code common.graph} provides are not public, by design. To
* create an instance of one of the built-in implementations of {@code ValueGraph}, use the {@link
* ValueGraphBuilder} class:
*
*
{@code
* MutableValueGraph graph = ValueGraphBuilder.directed().build();
* }
*
* {@link ValueGraphBuilder#build()} returns an instance of {@link MutableValueGraph}, which is a
* subtype of {@code ValueGraph} that provides methods for adding and removing nodes and edges. If
* you do not need to mutate a graph (e.g. if you write a method than runs a read-only algorithm on
* the graph), you should use the non-mutating {@link ValueGraph} interface, or an {@link
* ImmutableValueGraph}.
*
*
You can create an immutable copy of an existing {@code ValueGraph} using {@link
* ImmutableValueGraph#copyOf(ValueGraph)}:
*
*
{@code
* ImmutableValueGraph immutableGraph = ImmutableValueGraph.copyOf(graph);
* }
*
* Instances of {@link ImmutableValueGraph} do not implement {@link MutableValueGraph}
* (obviously!) and are contractually guaranteed to be unmodifiable and thread-safe.
*
*
The Guava User Guide has more
* information on (and examples of) building graphs.
*
*
Additional documentation
*
* See the Guava User Guide for the {@code common.graph} package ("Graphs Explained") for
* additional documentation, including:
*
*
* -
* {@code equals()}, {@code hashCode()}, and graph equivalence
*
-
* Synchronization policy
*

* for implementors
